THE SEA BREEZE AND THE SCARF.

Hung on the easement that looked Ger the main
Fiuttered a scarf Of blue;
And gay bold breeze paused to fiutter and tease
This trifie of delicate hue;
"YOu are lovelier far than the proud skies are, -
He said, with a voice that sighed;
"You are fairer to me than tbs beautiful sea;
oh, why do you stay here and hide!
'You are wasting your life in this dull, dark
ROOM
And he fondled her silken folds;
''O'er the easement lean but little NV queen.
And see what the great world holds,
How the wonderful blue of your matchless hue
Chespens both sea and sky
You are far too bright TO be hidden from sight,
Come, fly with me, darling, hy!''
Tender his whisper and sweet his caress, -,
Flattered and pleased was she; Sc,
The arms Of her lover lifted her over -
The easement out to sea: 81
Close to his breast she was fondly pressed,
Kissed once by his laughing mouth;
Then dropped 10 her grave in the cruel wave
While the wind went whistling south.

The Duties of Guests.

Much has been written about the ar
of entertaining and the duties of host
ess, but is there no obligation on tht
other side? To be a really acceptable
guest requires infinite tact, or else pos.
session of most of the cardinal virtues
How many guest has gone home little
less liked by the hostess! A little cart
and thoughtfulness will make visiting
less trying ordeal. In the first place
it is better to understay than to overstay
an invitation, and it is pleasanter fol
both parties if the length of the visit de
sired is stated beforehand by the host
ess. Perhaps the most important con-
sideration of all is that the family rou'
tine should be as little disturbed as pos-
sible. Be up in time for breakfast and
prompt at all other meals. Do not ask
for milk or tea at odd times, or order
what is not on the table. Remember
you are not at a hotel. l once saw a
lady guest call for olives when they
were not on the bill of fare, and the
hostess has never forgotten this partic-
ular act of rudeness. Make as little
trouble as possible.
If there is only one overworked SER
want, why not make your own bed?
Have some employment of your own
as An excuse for retiring to your own
room for some time each day. Do not
follow your hostess about ali the time,as
she generally has many duties. and es-
peciafly respect private rooms. unless
particularly invited to them. Do not
give your washing to the house servant.
Pay for your own luggage in coming
and going. if public conveyance is en-
ployed, and do not sponge upon your
hostess for car fare and trivial expenses.
These little things make many friend
ship less warm. You certainly would
not take one of your friends with you
unless particularly invited to do so by
the hostess. Do not demand too much
attention. Be easily pleased, and chime
in most cordially with anything propos
ed. Try to please the hosts in every way.
Consult their likes and dislikes even in
matters of dress; be interested in what
interests them; be sure not to hurt their
feelings. Do not criticise the family you
visit; admire what is good; do not no.
tice the rest. Do not always tell of the
fine things you have seen or eaten else>
where. Help your hostess; amuse
child or entertain other guests. Show
your love for your hostess in all little
ways. Lastly, study some one who is
an ever welcome guest and try to grasp
her secret.-Philadelp Press.

Cleveland's Comments on Private
Pension Claims.

WASHINGTON July 12-The extracts
given below from President Cleveland's s
numerous vetOes of private pension bills
will show the real reason why all sol.
diers turn away with disgust 1t is not
because he judged the cases to be with
out merit, for the majority of the veter-
ans feel quite as strongly as he can
upon the subject of pensions for the un-
deserving. Had he stated his objection
with becoming dignity there would have
been no trouble. But it was the spirit
evinced by his sneers at humble men
who served their country, and who in
their age and extren1ities have ventured
to seek aid from Congress, which has
reused the indignation of soldiers.
The simple fact that they had served
in the field might have held the hand
and tongue of President from making
sport of them before the Nation, even if
their cases did not fall within the tech.
nicalities of the pension law. But let
his witticisms speak for themselves:
From veto of pension of John w. Far
ris:
The ingenuity developed in the con-
slant and persistent attacks upon the
public treasury by those claiming pen
sions, and the increase of those already
granted, is exhibited IN bold relief by
this attempt to include sore eyes among
the results of diarrhes."

A GOOD IDEA.

According 10 the latest information,
PresdepI Cleveland coutempIates taking
an extended tour through the West, and
will visit the Pacific coast during his Jour
neyings. That the chief executive of this
couptrys ought TO visit every portion of it
at least once during the four years of his
&C administration of national affairs is get
ting to be firmly believed by the American
people, and this contemplated trip Of the
president will be heartily approved by all.
Especially here in the lar West the chief
executive will find ami see many things
with which be is not as yet very familiar,
aud which will give him many additional
and correct ideas regarding the needs and
wants Of this vast Western country. The
necessity for additional mail facilities will
surely O escape his observation, aud
after ths janrney has been made and Mr.
Cleveland returns to Washington. it is
reasonable to presume that some steps
will be taken regarding this matter.
President Cleveland will certainly meet
with a warm welcome from all classes Of
peopls.in the lar West.
